One of the most universal functions of any scientific or engineer
ing laboratory is the gathering of data to provide answers to
immediate questions or information to be filed for future refer
ence. Such data gathering may be achieved in various ways,
depending on the nature and quantity of the information. The most
prevalent of such data gathering methods is undoubtedly analog
recording. Electrical analog recorders are available in a variety
of sizes, speeds, sensitivities, and prices. They are suitable for
recording any signal which is in, or can be converted to,
electrical form. These recorders are found in every modern
laboratory. Without them the importance of many functional
relations would be missed altogether. How could one adequately
diagnose a heart ailment without a cardiographic recorder, or
obtain infrared or magnetic resonance spectra on any practicable
basis without a strip-chart recorder? True, various curves that are
now traced automatically with a recorder can be plotted manually
from point-by-point measure ments. This procedure, however, is not
only time-consuming, but may cause valid bits of information to be
overlooked entirely, simply because the points were taken too far
apart. Another factor favoring the use of recorders is the ability
to pinpoint faulty operation of the data-gathering system.
Artifacts that might not be observable at all in point-by-point
observations 1 The Laboratory Recorder 2 will often be readily
identifiable on a recording. Asymmetry of a peaked curve, for
example, is only dearly evident in a recording.
